Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
    And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
    Than keep a corner in the thing I love
    For others’ uses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have heard
    That guilty creatures sitting at a play
    Have by the very cunning of the scene
    Been struck so to the soul, that presently
    They have proclaimed their malefactions.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Women have their heads in their hearts. Man seems to have been destined for a superior being; as things are, I think women generally better creatures than men. They have weaker appetites and weaker intellects but much stronger affections. A man with a bad heart has been sometimes saved by a strong head; but a corrupt woman is lost forever.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
